Parents, today I want to give you a heads-up and issue a warning which I hope motivates you to track with the latest developments in digital technology and the way in which these developments might undermine the well-being of our kids. You're no doubt aware that Virtual Reality and the Metaverse here to stay and will be advancing quickly in the years to come. Based on the fact that online victimization of children and teens is a well-known reality in today's digital world, experts are now working to catch and address what victimization will look like in the metaverse and through virtual reality. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University has found that a significant percentage of teens who engage with these technologies have reported encountering hate speech, bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, grooming behaviors from predators, and unwanted exposure to violent or sexually explicit content. Parents, you are the gatekeepers. Always monitor use, educate for safety, and set limits.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.

Two years. That's how long Evyatar David has been held in captivity, far from his family, his friends, and the music of his life. On this special episode of Some Future Day, we retrace the hours that changed everything, the search that hasn't stopped, and the quiet heroism of a family carrying hope through darkness.I had the honor of speaking with Evyatar's brother, Ilay David, who refuses to let the world look away. Ilay has turned the world upside down to rescue his beloved brother. But what have the United Nations, Red Cross, Bibi Netanyahu, and President Trump done to rescue the hostages? And why does it seem like President Trump has done the most for the hostages?On this two-year mark of his captivity, we remember the person. Not just the politics. Not just the headlines. Not just the antisemitism. And we explore what justice, compassion, and action look like now for Evyatar and for every hostage still waiting.Episode Links:Ilay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilayd97/Ilay on LinkedIn: https://il.linkedin.com/in/ilay-david-a09183258Website: https://bringevyatarhome.com/Bring Evyatar Home Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bring_evyatar_homeOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

This episode of ABA On Call features an engaging discussion with Jennifer Shahin and Nicole Lockerman, co-founders of Social Wise VR, a company pioneering the use of immersive virtual reality to teach social skills. Drawing from backgrounds in applied behavior analysis and education, the guests describe how outdated methods, such as worksheets and role-plays, often fail to generalize to real-life contexts. Social Wise VR addresses this challenge by providing realistic, actor-driven scenarios in controlled VR environments, allowing learners to safely practice social interactions, build confidence, and experience the natural consequences of different choices. The conversation explores the development journey, the integration of ABA principles and curriculum design, expansion into workplace and safety scenarios, and the future of VR and AR technologies in behavioral intervention. This dialogue highlights the potential of technology to bridge critical gaps in social skills training for individuals with autism and beyond.

While countries came together in the late 80s to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism, technology and the advent of virtual currencies have further complicated the tracking of illicit financial flows across borders. Over $51 billion in cryptocurrency was used by criminals last year to circumvent traditional banking regulations. Chady El Khoury is an assistant general counsel and heads the Financial Integrity Group at the IMF. In this podcast, El Khoury says the anonymity of virtual currency transactions is supercharging the ability for criminals to grow their empires. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3KOjzeA

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dirk Guenthoer (Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf) und Heiner Kolde (BKP Architekten) über die strategische Modernisierung der Standorte, innovative Filialkonzepte und die spannende Frage: Wie bleibt die Filiale im digitalen Zeitalter relevant?

Guest: Dr. Grace Ahn, University of GeorgiaWhen a hurricane threatens, the most dangerous part often isn't the wind—it's the water. Storm surge can arrive fast, rise high, and turn familiar streets into life-threatening hazards. But what if you could experience that danger in a safe way, before it ever happens? Dr. Grace Ahn at the University of Georgia has developed Weather the Storm, a virtual reality experience that puts people inside a realistic hurricane scenario to show just how quickly conditions can turn deadly. By combining immersive visuals, sound, and storytelling, her work is helping coastal residents—and even emergency planners—understand the stakes and make better decisions when the next storm comes.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Threat of Hurricanes05:00 The Role of Virtual Reality in Risk Communication10:35 Experiencing the Simulation: A Deep Dive15:27 Reactions and Engagement: The Impact of VR20:46 Expanding the Reach: Community Involvement and Education25:43 Future Directions: Beyond Hurricanes30:18 The Power of Combined Communication MethodsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why are so many teens today collapsing under ordinary challenges?Things seem hard because we are soft. After decades of comfort, convenience, and ease, too many kids haven't been forged by healthy discomfort—so everyday life feels overwhelming.In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning reveal why today's teens are unprepared to launch—and how parents can strategically build resilience, grit, and holistic toughness without becoming harsh or hard-hearted.Key Takeaways:✅ Use micro doses of discomfort—workouts, cold showers, chores, social reps—to build daily resilience✅ Plan macro doses of challenge—travel, service, treks, adventures—to forge lasting grit✅ Avoid raising “squishy kids” who collapse under stress, rejection, or discomfort✅ Teach kids emotional strength and sensitivity without raising entitled adults✅ Prepare your children to handle setbacks, stress, and even crisis with courageBottom line: If you don't add challenge, the world will—and it won't be gentle. Parents must be deliberate about raising strong, well-rounded kids who are ready to launch into adulthood with confidence.✨ Memorable Quotes

Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all? Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to explore whether we're living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life's glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality. In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into: - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences - The Virtual Reality moment that convinced Virk the simulation might be real - “Glitches in the Matrix” and the Mandela Effect - Are precognitive dreams & near-death experiences proof of the simulation? - Could aliens or future humans be running the simulation? - What's beyond the simulation? Are we about to be unplugged? Whether you're spiritual, scientific, religious, or just simulation-curious, this is the rabbit hole you've been waiting for. Get ready to question everything on this week's MBB!

Enter the mind-bending realm where reality itself comes into question. This consciousness-altering episode dives deep into the increasingly popular theory that our entire existence might be nothing more than an advanced computer simulation. Through cutting-edge quantum physics research, unexplainable glitches in everyday life, and testimonies from people who've witnessed reality breaks, we explore the possibility that we're living in a programmed reality. From synchronicities that defy probability to documented matrix glitches that challenge our understanding of time and space, discover why brilliant minds like Elon Musk believe we're most likely living in a simulation. We examine artificial intelligence developments, quantum computing breakthroughs, and ancient philosophical concepts that all point to one disturbing question: Is anything we experience actually real?

The global biotech industry is worth more than $1.8 trillion, but behind that number is something more powerful: the ability to save lives. And no one understands that better than today's guest, Dr. Peter Kash.Over his 37-year career, Dr. Kash has helped bring seven FDA-approved drugs to market, including an important pediatric leukemia drug. He's raised billions in biotech capital, co-founded more than a dozen companies, and helped push cancer treatments from idea into execution.Peter Kash is chasing cures. He's fighting for kids with brain cancer. He's accelerating AI-driven therapies for glioblastoma, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. And he believes that within eight years, solid tumor cancers like breast, prostate, and colorectal could have survival rates near 80%, just like today's blood cancers.In a world of politics and profit, Peter is building something deeper: a global alliance of scientists, doctors, and entrepreneurs working together to outsmart disease.So, if you care about medicine, humanity, or what the future could look like, this episode is your wake-up call. Because biotech isn't just about innovation. It's about the mother with ovarian cancer, the child with leukemia, the father battling Parkinson's.
